Montparnasse Neighborhood Walking Tour
Explore this fascinating Parisian neighborhood and get to know its history on this informative walking tour.
What you'll do
Once the stomping grounds of many an artist, Montparnasse is a must-visit for culture vultures. From Hemingway to Dali, this was the place to be in the early 20th Century. This walking tour focuses on the 14th arrondissement's artistic and cultural history. You'll learn all about Parisian Cafe Society, and how people here lived and thrived in spite of the Nazi occupation and French Resistance. You'll also visit the area's most notable attractions including Tour Montparnasse (the city's only skyscraper), Montparnasse Cemetery (the final resting place of various celebrities and intellectuals, including Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre), and Paris's Little Theatre District, Rue de la Gaite. The tour ends with a guided ascent of the Montparnasse Tower, where you can either choose to use your pass to access the tower or you can leave the tour if you've already visited or if you'd like to visit it later on in the day.
